Zhang Yan calculated in his mind. Currently, he only lacked four ingredients: the Panchan Pill, the Hidden Lotus, the Snake Ring Jewel, and the Ghost Sunflower.
The Panchan Pill was formed in the belly of a venomous bug. It wasn't safe to have only one golden spider. Thankfully, Zhang Boyan had caught a few more along the way. After feeding them with the Silk Hibiscus Seed, it would take at most ten years to condense a pill pearl. As for the other three, he needed to find other avenues.
Zhang Boyan said, "I have seen many cultivators from the Dongsheng Continent looking for rare treasures. Most of them offered rewards and enticed them with benefits. With the celestial city in your hands, you might as well follow suit. I believe you will be able to gain something."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Daoist Zhang's reminder is correct. I've thought about this before, but with Wang Guangyuan and the others stirring up trouble here, I'm afraid that they'll play tricks on the side and it won't be good, so I didn't put it into action. Now that Wang Guangyuan is dead and Hui Xuan has expelled Qu Changzhi from the sect, there shouldn't be any worries in the near future, so I can give it a try. However, I still need to trouble Daoist Zhang to go somewhere else, so that we won't waste any time."
Zhang Boyan cupped his hands and said, "I can leave now."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Zhang Zhang, there is no hurry. I have been reading the ancient books in the city and found some clues. Rumor has it that someone has seen the Ghost Sunflower in the east of the Luoduan Mountains. Why don't you go there?"
Luoduan Mountains were the dividing line between Mount Wu and the east and west. The east was not as densely populated as the west. It was a barren land filled with poisonous insects and fierce beasts. Zhang Boyan laughed, "If there is really it in Mount Wu, it will be very easy. I will definitely get it for you."
He had traveled almost all the celestial cities in Chu in the past year. However, Chu was ruled by the Zhongtai Sect. The disciples of this sect were arrogant when facing cultivators from other sects. Only when facing a Yuanying Daoist like him did they restrain themselves a little. However, because of his cultivation, every move he made was watched. He couldn't let go of his hands and feet, but he didn't have to worry so much when he went to an isolated place.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, it's not easy for you to cultivate outside. My cave abode on Cang Zhu Peak has already been repaired, so I'll lend this Seven Treasures Great Pagoda to you."
He pointed with his finger, and the pagoda outside his body turned into a stream of light, shrinking to a height of half a foot. He held it in his palm and handed it over.
Zhang Boyan didn't refuse. After expressing his gratitude, he took the Great Pagoda Pavilion and bowed deeply before leaving the mountain.
After watching him leave, Zhang Yan was about to enter the hall. Suddenly, his mind moved, and his expression showed that he was listening attentively. After a long while, he slightly frowned and said to himself, "Python Tribe …"
Just now, it was Dragon Carp Liiren who sent him a telepathic message, telling him that there were a few Core Formation Demon Cultivators coming to the Divine House Mountain, but they were all captured by him. Not a single one was left out.
Zhang Yan thought to himself. While the North Sea Daoist Tribe might not be able to do much because they were wary of the five great sects of the Dongsheng Continent, they would still be a problem. Even with the Dragon Carp's protection, the sea was vast, and it was inevitable that they would slip up. If they caused trouble from time to time, he might have to deal with it himself.
He thought for a moment. Then, he barked at Jiang He, who was at the foot of the mountain, "Where is Lu Changsu?"
As soon as his voice rang out, a white light rose from the waters and a burly figure appeared, kneeling before the peak and greeting respectfully, "This little daemon greets you, Prefecture Master."
Zhang Yan invoked a hand seal, and with a flash of white light from his sleeve, the seventy-two Ten Thousand Beasts Sleeping Moon Streamers flew out at once and stuck themselves in the empty space in front of him. Clasping his hands behind his back, he said, "I'm handing over the two hundred thousand daemonic soldiers to you. Find a body of water outside the North Sea and stay there. Stop any daemonic cultivators coming from the north, and do not let them enter the Divine House Mountain Realm."
Lu Changsu's subordinates were all of the marine race, and even if there were no islands to stay in, they could still come and go as they pleased. Moreover, if the formation was not used for a long time, it would be rather rusty. Letting them go back was killing two birds with one stone.
Lu Changsu, however, was a little uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully said, "Prefecture Master, the North Sea seems to have one of the eight great daemonic tribes of the North Sea Continent, the Python Tribe. I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that I'm not strong enough and will ruin your plans."
Zhang Yan smiled, "You don't have to be afraid. Fellow Daoist Ji is also there. You only need to take care of some of the small fries, it will take care of those who are slightly skilled."
Only then did Lu Changsu feel relieved. He kowtowed and said, "I understand, I'll leave now."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Don't make too much noise when you go."
Lu Changsu responded and stood up. He made a hand seal and rolled the seventy-two banners into his sleeves. Then, following Zhang Yan's instructions, he didn't dare to make too much noise. He turned into a wisp of smoke and quietly disappeared into the clouds. In a flash, he had gone far away.
Zhang Yan returned to the cave dwelling. After sitting down on the couch, he first made a hand seal and set up a restrictive formation. Then, he shook his sleeves, and with a flash of light, more than twenty magical weapons leaped out of the air. In an instant, he heard shrill screams and countless black fog and evil Qi clamoring. It was as if they were going to crash out of the cave dwelling.
His expression didn't change. He pressed his hand down and mana gushed out from his body. The magical weapons that were wandering around the room immediately calmed down and floated in front of him.
Most of these magical weapons were taken from the hands of the cultivators of the Devil Sect during the Sword Competition of the Sixteen Sects. There were even a few profound weapons among them.
It was just that most of these treasures were made of evil and filthy materials. Not to mention that they were not compatible with his cultivation method, if his cultivation was not strong enough, not only would he not be able to control them, his inner yuan would easily be polluted and his mind would be infected. Therefore, it was not convenient for him to give them to his disciple. This time, he could use them as a reward.
After picking and choosing, he finally took out three profound weapons. Then, he told the Taoist boy outside the door, "Someone, go and find Junior Brother Zhao."
Not long after, Zhao Ge entered the hall and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Brother."
At this moment, the magic treasures were still hanging in the air, but he ignored them.
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, I need you to do something."
Zhao Ge said in a low voice, "Senior Brother, please tell me."
A few days later, in the Immortal City of Mount Shenwu, several superior profound weapons were displayed in the Floating Tower, saying that they wanted to exchange them for three kinds of spiritual items. Once the news spread, it immediately attracted countless attention.
In the Dongsheng Continent, most of the superior profound weapons were the treasures of a city. They would not be taken out easily. However, the Immortal City of Mount Shenwu took out several of them at once. How could people not be surprised?
Hearing this, even Yong Fu couldn't help but go to see. After seeing, he couldn't help but be tempted. With a good magical weapon, he would have a lot of advantages when fighting with others. As for the evil energy contained in the magical weapons, as a Yuanying cultivator, he was naturally not afraid. Moreover, he didn't think that he would need to use it often.
However, he didn't have what Zhang Yan needed, so he wrote more than a dozen letters and asked his close friends.
The Immortal City of the Divine House Mountain immediately became much more lively. Many cultivators heard that this place could actually be exchanged for high-grade profound level weapons, and they all came because of its reputation. Unfortunately, after half a month, no one was able to exchange the medicinal materials that Zhang Yan needed for a magic weapon.
On this day, a man and a woman came to the city. The woman's body was lithe and graceful, and her figure was soft and beautiful. She was about twenty years old, and her hair was tied up in a bun. Her eyes were especially bright, and although her clothes were ordinary, her beauty was natural, and it was difficult to conceal her beauty.
The man was dressed like a Taoist. He had a head full of silver hair, but his face didn't look old at all. Between his brows, there was a faint sense of awe-inspiring spirit.
As the two walked, they attracted the attention of the cultivators on the way.
The two seemed to be used to people's attention. After they got off the flying car, they went straight to the Floating Tower. When they entered the tower, they said that they wanted to see the three magic weapons.
The Taoist in charge could see that the three of them were not ordinary people. He said, "I wonder if the three of you have brought the spirit herbs that the City Lord needs?"
The woman said, "The two of us also passed by here. We heard that in this Immortal City, we can exchange spiritual items for profound weapons, so we rushed here. What are the requirements?"
The Taoist in charge said, "There are three spirit herbs that the City Lord needs. One can be exchanged for a treasure. They are the Hidden Earth Lotus, the Snake Ring Jewel, and the Ghost Sunflower."
The woman smiled and said, "I've heard of the Hidden Earth Lotus, and I happen to have it with me."
The Hidden Earth Lotus was a Hundred Year Spirit Lotus that was struck by lightning and buried underground for a thousand years. It had a strange fragrance that could ward off evil and calm the mind. Therefore, it was deeply loved by some female cultivators. They would often grind it into powder and put it in a pouch to carry with them. She had a pouch on her.
The Taoist in charge hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that Your Highness is too late. The Spirit Lotus that the City Lord wants must be complete. There can't be a single flaw."
The woman smiled lightly and said, "It's not impossible."
She turned to the white-haired man beside her and asked, "Elder You, you're knowledgeable. Have you heard of the Snake Ring Jewel and the Ghost Sunflower?"
Elder You smiled reservedly and said, "The so-called Snake Ring Jewel is actually two items. It's the skin that the evil snake sheds when it transcends its tribulation and then fills it with the Purple Sparrow Elixir. After a hundred days, it's taken out and the skin is cut open. A plate of White Snake Paste is obtained. However, because the evil snake's lifespan is short, most of them are born in spring and die in autumn. Therefore, it's rare for them to cultivate into monsters, and those that can take human form are even rarer, so it's extremely difficult to find them. “
The woman was unconvinced and said, "Could it be that even our sect doesn't have one?"
Elder You didn't avoid the Taoist in charge and said very casually, "If it was on a normal day, Lady Lian only needs to say the word and thousands of cultivators would be willing to serve you. But now that our sect is fighting with Xuan Yue Sect, we don't have enough manpower, so we can't do as you wish."
Lady Lian sighed and said, "Then … what's the origin of the Ghost Sunflower?"
Elder You thought for a while and said in a low voice, "The Ghost Sunflower is formed from resentment and grows in the wilderness. It's about three to four feet tall, with black stems and white leaves. It's hairy, and the flower's face is like a ghost's head. At noon, it's dark, and it's bent as if it's picking something up. Its roots are several miles long, and it becomes a monster after a hundred years. It can capture white birds, and after a thousand years, it becomes a monster. It can eat grey pythons, and it can be used to refine spells and incantations. It's just that this item isn't easy to pick, and the roots wither when they're broken. This old man has never seen the real thing before. "
Lady Lian's beautiful eyes flickered and she said, "So there's such a wondrous item in this world."
The Taoist in charge said in admiration, "Daoist Zhang's knowledge is profound. In this half a month, no one has been able to tell the origin of these three items."
Lady Lian said, "This Taoist, can you bring those three magic treasures for me to take a look?"
The Taoist in charge didn't decline this time and said, "Please wait a moment, this Taoist will go and bring them over right away."
After he left, Elder You suddenly said, "I'm afraid this City Lord isn't a decent person."
Lady Lian was startled and asked, "Why?"
